Google to soon release a tablet version of its Chrome OS

Initial details in Google's source templates reveal that the company's coders have begun building a tablet version of Chrome OS, its browser-based operating system released in November 2009, and that will be released soon. But this doesn't come as a surprise to some, given that Google already created a few mock-ups of a Chrome OS tablet more than a year ago.

However, this does indicate that a tablet incarnation of Google's Web-based operating system is a near-term priority, not just a vague concept. And Google did acknowledge that the tablet version of Chrome OS is coming soon, but still wouldn't discuss any details such as when the project's first version will be completed.

"We are still engaging in early open-source development work for the tablet form factor, but we have nothing new to announce at this time," the company said in a statement.
